COUNSELOR IN TRAINING (CIT) PROGRAM
For teens entering 9th grade
June 25 – July 20, 2012
CIT Director: Ellen Strauss (16th Summer with Camp)
* Age appropriate activities
* First aid and CPR
* Assisting with swim lessons
* Appropriate games & crafts
* Jewish cultural activities
In order to participate in the CIT program, applicants must make a commitment for the entire
period of June 25 through July 20.
Learn the skills needed to be a great camp counselor, then use those skills while earning a
stipend for the second half of the summer!
This year we will have several special trips that will give the CITs the opportunity to participate
in fun and exciting experiences (adventures may include: ropes courses, rock climbing and
white water rafting).
Counselor skills will be discussed each day. The curriculum will include how to relate to
children, learning to lead swim classes, first aid, games, sports, crafts and Jewish cultural
activities. Understanding appropriate activities and skills for the many ages of our campers
will be stressed. CITs will also have social time to ease their transition from campers to staff
members. The CITs will rotate to different camp groups assisting the counselors and trying
out their new skills. They will be encouraged to grow by developing leadership abilities and
assuming responsibility for others, as well as enhancing their personal Jewish identity and
Jewish awareness.
Admission to this program is based on an interview with the CIT Director or Camp Director.
Applicants will be selected based on their desire to learn, their maturity and their interest in
Jewish culture.
CITs who successfully complete the training course (program) may apply to work the month
of August. Participants who are hired for Camp Chaverim for the second half of the summer
will receive a $100 stipend at the conclusion of the summer.
